There are planes (such as the Ercoupe) which have intentionally limited elevator authority and are essentially incapable of a stall (at least a 1G stall...) It sounds like the types you mention are in or near this category.
Are these types tri-gear or taildragger? It sounds to me like you can't really do a full-stall landing in them.
